Youth Programs

If you have children, you know how important it is to watch your finances.  Beyond the everyday needs, you can visualize college, those "important designer" clothes, and the "I really need a car" that will hit you down the road.

Why not teach them to maintain their own finances while they're still young?  You can do that with one of our Youth Program Accounts.  We have the Dollar Dog Kids Club™ for children 12 and under.  If you've already faced those teenager needs, open a Cha-Ching Teen Club™ account for them.  Once they reach the age of 18 to 24, it's really time for them to get a grip on their own affairs, so you'll want them to get in line with The Edge™.  Each of these programs offers options to teach kids some responsibility, give them the knowledge of what good financial practices can mean while providing them with solid money management tools.

Take the time to review the one that fits your youth's age group and sign them up today.
